    Okay, I just finished reading your article. It's very detailed but some points of it seem ridiculous for me. About the seat section, it's nothing about the gov doesnt trust rock music. They treat all the stadium shows like this. I attended The fray and Yellowcard shows in Beijing, they were both playing in some live house. I didnt see any seat there. Also like music festival, there is no seat policy either. You could search the Korn show in Beijing in last year. Plus, I know the accident you talked about. It happened in Nanjing show. I need to tell you the men who yelled at the fan were not police or SWAT. They were just securities. And what you said didnt happen in Shenzhen show.

     

    Now let's talk about the meetups. You have no idea right? We are the same. But Im pretty sure the Benz sponsor was chosen by the band without informing the Chinese company. The Chinese co even thought they would hold M&G before the Nanjing show. It's interesting that Chinese press called the so-called Benz press a meet up but the official here insisted it a press event. So I guess the band probably just doesnt want to people outside China to think they held meet ups for their sponsors' benefit instead of LPU members.

     

    And your last two paragraphs, seriously, you made me speechless and feel sorry for you.

    Well.Last night I was at the Shenzhen show VIP2 3rd.There were traffic policemen there and asked people to sit down.And the people around me were just fucking zombies. Just know how to play their fucking cellphones and post Wechat.Fucking Terrible experience. I will never buy a expensive ticket like this shit again.

    So the fans really were forced to sit down throughout?

     

    Are there any pictures of the crowd? I'm curious to what it looks like!

     

    If armed guards were really at the show I imagine it would make LP feel very uncomfortable (Obviously everyone feels uncomfortable, just moreso them as it's their show).

    Not sit down the whole show.Swat can not control everyone.

    Check that baidu blue link above you will see the pics

    2.Many people left before the encore.

    https://instagram.com/p/5MA1ZPjmX7/There's a press confrence about the tour apparently. I have to say I expect pretty much the same set for this tour, doubt they're going to play KTTK or the HT rarities. They just wanted to be on the safe side, since they probably haven't figuered out the set when they sumbitted the doucument. I don't believe they'll play Don't Stay even if it wins the poll, since it wasn't in the sumbitted document.

    Normal China fans can't attend that.

    Only those rich asshoeles who bought Benz there can get invitations.

    Beijing show on July 26th to be webcasted

    Posted · Edited by Vorist

    Linkin Park's first show ever in Beijing, China will be webcasted live on July 26, 2015 by Tencent Video, China's largest online video media platform. It is presented by Mercedes Benz, the sponsors of the tour.

     

    This will be the band's last show on the China Tour and will take place at Beijing Workers' Stadium. Their October 19, 2008 show in Beijing was canceled due to an injury sustained by Chester, so this is a very exciting tour for the band. It's the largest international rock tour ever to visit China.

    The live stream will begin on July 26th here. China has just one time zone and it is set to go from 19:30 to 21:00 in Chinese time. If we converted the time correctly, that should be at 7:30 AM EST, 4:30am PST. Convert to your appropriate time zone here.

    What is that list? songs they are allowed to play? Or songs they've chosen to get approved?

     

    EDIT: Keys To The Kingdom, Somewhere I Belong, and APFMH on that list...

    To gat approved I think.

    And also check this out.

    An interview between LP and Global Times.

     

     

     

    They might be one of the most recognized bands in China. Their songs, even those from 10 years ago, are still widely played on the radio and pubs, and even as background music on TV shows, at ball games and e-sport venues.

     

    After a six-year absence, Linkin Park is coming to China again next month, presenting their The Hunting Party album tour in Nanjing, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing. A testament to the band's fame in the country, after tickets for the concert went on sale the band set a new record by selling 24 million yuan ($3.8 million) worth of tickets in just eight hours.

     

    Glories going on

     

    Just like the name of their first formal album, Hybrid Theory in 2000, the band has always tried playing and mixing different styles in their music from rock and rap to electronic to pop. Some fans have pointed out their latest album has been quite a departure from recent records and a return to ethos and inspiration.

     

    "It was a creative impulse from within the band. The trigger was when Mike [shinoda] switched gears about not wanting to write the songs that he's been writing, but instead decided to write heavy hard rock songs. We all went 'Okay!'" Chester Bennington wrote in an e-mail interview with the Global Times about the birth of their latest album last year.

     

    In 1996, Mike Shinoda and some of his friends founded a band which is now mostly regarded as the earliest version of Linkin Park. While several members eventually left and new people joined, the band eventually shot to success and earned global fame.

     

    This nearly two-decade-long journey is not something they really think about. "20 years ago, it was like me and a friend of mine met Mark [Wakefield]. Really it was like only me and Mark at the beginning. We made a couple of songs in our spare time. We were in high school," Mike wrote, adding that they are focusing more of their energy on the future and what is coming next for the band.

     

    Still rocking past 30

     

    Those members of the band now in their 30s have spent over half of their lives on music. Chester gave some suggestions for those who also wanted to pursue a music career and write songs: "When it comes to writing, don't think it's great just because you wrote it. If you want to be a professional musician, you have to be able to see what you're doing with reality goggles and not fantasy goggles.

     

    "Sometimes it's hard to swallow that you didn't create something good. Stick with it, accept criticism, don't drink your own juice. That stuff is really important. You can pretty much do whatever you want nowadays as a band. Be smart, stay plugged in, get your music out to people and build your ideas."

     

    As the online music industry continues its rapid growth and more records company turn their eyes to the Internet, Linkin Park proved their high global popularity again by becoming the first rock band to achieve over 1.9 billion views on YouTube.

     

    When talking about these high online numbers and the newly booming online music industry, Joe Hann wrote: "For us, it's a very natural progression. There's new things' happening all the time with technology and the way that music or any kind of media is distributed, so we see it as having more tools and ways of communicating with people. You don't have to rely on a single one of them entirely."

     

    They're also not worried about their position in this new industry.

     

    "I'd like to think that we still have a lot of energy and ideas left in the tank. In that sense, we are still available to write our own legacy moving forward and continue to build on that," wrote Dave Farrell.

     

    "I really sincerely think that one of the coolest components of our history is gonna be the fact that we've had a fan base during a time period when attention spans are very fickle, we've had a fan base that's been really committed to us and what we're doing."

     

     

    Linkin Park Q&A

     

     

     

    Global Times: What are you most excited about this tour in China?

     

    Mike: We are actually visiting a lot of cities that I've never seen before. This is a wonderful opportunity for me and my family to experience China. We wrote about it. This is the longest tour we have had in China and the most cities. We will get to meet the fans, experience the culture and eat the food and go sightseeing. It is really an exciting trip for us.

     

    Joe Hann: I'm looking forward to eating soup dumplings, checking out the arts district, visiting the Great Wall, seeing what local life is in these places, plus checking out the cool skyscrapers that are being built.

     

    Global Times: What's it like to perform in a country with a totally different culture?

     

    Joe Hann : Last time we had a great time in China. They were big shows and at the time they told us that they were the biggest shows for a rock band in China and so we're looking forward to coming back and repeating that success and sharing our music with our massive fan base in China... cultures may be different but the fans are the same in terms of the universal emotion that they get from the music and what we get back from them.

     

    Global Times: What suggestions do you have for younger generations?

     

    Dave Farrell: For anyone who loves music, I feel like it's less important to focus on how to make it into a successful band. The most important thing is being able to immerse yourself into that world, what music has to offer to you and immerse yourself in the positives that you get out of it. It's about how much joy and happiness you are able to get out of it. If I wasn't with Linkin Park today, I still would like to be involved in music.

    I honestly have no idea why China bans certain songs, but it certainly doesn't extend to just Linkin Park. The Rolling Stones and other bands have had this happen to them, maybe even Metallica too. Hands Held High has very political lyrics, I always assumed that was the case. Who knows, maybe they can play Rebellion. However, as stupid as it is to ban music in the first place, it wouldn't surprise me if they looked at The Hunting Party and said "NO REBELLION, NO WAR" or something. I don't understand their government at all and I think they are rather unintelligent in this regard.

    Well，Metallica have to dropped Master of Puppets at the Shanghai show though the crowd was screaming "MASTER!MASTER!MASTER!"

    Very funny，isn't it？

    As a Chinese,I can not understand why too.
